I ordered a Gates PowerGrip Kit + Waterpump KP25433XS-1 set.
Summit racing is a legit website, I bought their aisin timing belt kit for $200 a few years ago. All genuine broski.
Specify or supply the Aisin THK0002 timing belt kit. It is OEM quality and contains the belt, water pump, and tensioner for a lot less than Honda label parts.
The Aisin TKH-001 belt kit is your best bet. It contains the belt, tensioner, and water pump and it is OEM quality at less cost than Honda service department parts.
I'm about to do mine in a 2017 RDX as well, and just picked up the Aisin kit.
Make sure they use the aisin TKH 002 kit.
I put a Gates kit on mine. I never see any problems with those.
OP, you do not need to do this at a dealer to get a quality product. You can have a qualified independent perform the service with an Aisin timing belt kit (they supply the original parts to the Honda Motor Co) for a lot less than a dealer is going to charge. The end result will be the same product for less.
my older style gates kit has a rattling belt tensioner pulley and it's about 40k miles old.
OEM OEM OEM I have heard horror stories regarding the Gates Kit on this sub. Apparently they changed supplier and have much lower quality now. Same with other non-OEM parts, they are way more likely to go out early. When it’s your engine you’re risking, it’s worth it to just spend the couple extra bucks for the safety of 10 years worth of reliability on the belt and pulleys.
